Twenty years in Siberia to Edinburgh
17 October 2015Twenty years in Siberia will have performances in Edinburgh in October 17. Ā A dramatic monologue based on ā20 Years in Siberia. The Memories of a Lifetimeā by Anita Nandris-CudlaStarring Amalia CiolanAdaptation, direction and set design by Sorin MisiriantuĀ ā20 Years in Siberiaā is the destiny of a peasant woman in Bucovina, North Romania, the author of one of the most important testimonials of the feared Soviet Gulag. Anita and her entire family were among the 13,000 Romanians who lived the terror of deportation in June 1941. She experienced famine, disease and hard work in one of the harshest environments on Earth, managing to bring up her sons and return to her native village in 1961. Her book of memoirs was only published after the Romanian Revolution in 1989 and was awarded the āLucian Blagaā Prize of the Romanian Academy.Ā Brought on stage by the Bucharest National Theatre in a most powerful one woman show and accompanied by striking visuals, the performance unveils the true terror of communism that affected every person whose life was affected and changed forever. Amalia Cioran masterfully manages to bring to life the universe of this simple woman, a perfect storyteller and a striking personality, a narration stripped of hatred, self pity or accusations, an account of things just as they happened. Ā Ā The performance is part of the āThe Trial of Communism through Theatreā Programme and the Romanian Cultural Days in Edinburgh programme, organised by the Romanian Cultural Institute in London in partnership with cultural organisations in Edinburgh.Ā Tickets availableĀ Ā£10 general admission, Ā£5 concessionĀ£5 for groups of over 20 (email office@icr-london.co.uk)Ā Ā DetailsĀ Ā
